give an idea of what the books contain.

the coral formations of the Pacific, cannibalism,
he curious traditions of the Islands, the past and present funeral rites, cyclones in the,
coral seas, and many other things of interest.
JACK-THE CONQUEROR; or, Overcoming Difficulties,
And other stories. These are not light, trashy, improbable tales, but they pr. sent some
of the real difficulties which nearly all boys and girls are compelled to encounter, and
point out the best way to meet them, so as to make the difficulties
aids
to higlier attain-
ments instead of
hindrances.
The book will not only interest but benefit the young.
SAVONAROLA.
The life of this great preacher of Florence. The scene of the book is, of course, that
land of romance and song and heroism, Italia, where the Apostle Paul, and other wit-
nesses of the truth, finished] the "good fight of faith." The little volume is a graphic
sketch of the most prominent events of the preacher's life and experience, the monasti-
cism of the fifteenth century, the iniquities that prevailed, the political influence of
Savonarola, his trial and death..
THE TONGA ISLANDS AND OTHER GROUPS.
Jottings from the Pacific No 2. This volume is for the Tonga Islands what " Jottings
from the
-
Pacific No. 1 " is for the Fijian and Samoan Groups. But there is no sameness
between the two. The islands, people, customs and products are sufficiently varied to
make another volume equal to or exceeding in interest the first.

cially to that of a young person.
